About

Description

As Press Operators, we are responsible for running a printing press and manage the production of printed materials. We load the press with paper and ink and ensure the creation of a high-quality finished product. We run CNC machines that cut and shape plastic and metal into component parts. We read blueprints and determine how to set press machines. Hearing and overseeing slight irregularities in press machines is part of our daily responsibilities. We perform quality checks on press machines and finished products. Working as Press Operators, we inspect the products from pressing machines and ensure they meet the specifications outlined in the blueprints. We understand the mechanics of pressing machines and figure out why a malfunction has occurred.

Core tasks:

  • troubleshoot pressing machines
  • inspect the finished product
  • monitor machines for irregularities
